Blizzard of 78 still stands alone 

In my lifetime I would be surprised if any storm surpasses that. Just was a perfect set up with capture and dynamics.

I'd say by now we're over a foot but with this drifting it is ridiculous. As you stated and me earlier, just terrible to measure. If I showed a picture on here of my property/ back + Front, yard, Porch, many comments here would say that it looks definitely over a foot.

Ya could be, We will end up with well over a foot I’m sure

About 12” here really hard to be accurate. Still coming down pretty good.

Probably the best of the day here.

Totally taken aback by this. Came on to see if there was any talk about the impending thunderstorms and this is what I see?? James will be missed. RIP way too young.

Maybe 3” here in my part of Wilmington still a lighter snow not a bad refresher.

Listen I need to go get my booze for the game give me 8” or shut it down! Moderate snow and great flakes.

Looks like the good stuff as modeled is sliding SE

I'd say moderate to heavy rates at the moment.

I think we may pull off the higher end of the advisory amounts if this can sustain.

Moderate dare  I say heavy in Wilmington?

First flakes in Wilmington

Okay, if you have a depth of 18" right now, then you had 20.5". That makes sense from my Wilmington measurements, as the depth when I left was 17" at 1am. 

I have a current depth of 14" in Methuen, and had a 16.5" snowfall.

Ya, it certainly could have been 20.5 earlier this morning. The only time I actually measured was the 18. Great storm everything is still caked here beautiful outside.

I know because  that 20" amount was taken close to 4 AM this morning. With Bedford at about 21", Acton at 21.8", Methuen at 18.3" and Lowell at 20.1"  "NOT" the 24",  and the way that Coastal Front behaved; those amounts seem pretty spot on.

Ya all I know is I am glad I bought my Ariens! shoveling the back yard dog paths killed my back. This Morning doing the plow mounds at both entrances of my horse shoe driveway paid for the machine.

15.9" here...apparently 24"  two miles away in Lowell and 20"+ one mile away in Wilmington

Just measured 18 inches in mby so given the compaction I believe close to 20 was attainable. I live in North Wilmington close to 93.

In for a break from snow blowing id say in my area of Wilmington if it wasn’t 20” it’s pretty close. It is very wet heavy stuff.

Not a free site though.

Over/under for Methuen at 2'?

Stumbled upon the WC looking for a good radar shot on tv and they are going with taint to the NH border along and adjacent to the coast?  3” for Boston and 6” for me in Wilmington cmon? Switched back to the AHC to watch WW2 stuff! On another note who has a good free radar sight for my computer? The NWS is not any good anymore.

I threw this together a second ago... Folks are welcome to use until they fix the main page.  It's not really intended for this purpose, but I'm happy to take suggestions if folks are interested.  Has BOX and ENX base reflectivity and velocity.  You can also view old data by clicking the clock icon in the top left corner.

Thanks!

I was just trying to use it and I noticed that the tiles were painfully slow to load.  At some point the browser just gave up and I have a checkerboard like thing going on.  That's gonna need some attention.

It’s not going to be any better for you. It reminds me of Windy which is far better for wave information but also their radar looks similarly. Are there any other options without a paid subscription?

How do people like cub cadet snowblowers? I did the best research I could in limited time this morning.

Waitinf until the snow is done but took one pass around back and it worked well 

 

Love my new Ariens 24 sho platinum spent all day learning how to use it. My neighbors enjoyed my learning process lol.

Just got in from snow duty, gave up,,despite radar it is coming down at a good clip. 14” seems like the consensus in myby. Going to wait until the plows finally make a pass on my street to head back out.
